Bought this fax/phone/answering maching/copier which comes with six-month warranty. At eight months the phone message function began break down. I would be calling in for messages and it would disconnect abruptly every fourth or fifth time. I would call back and retrieve the remainder of my messages. After a year, the answering machine function would abruptly disconnect when clients were leaving messages. Again, this would happen about 25 percent of the time. This is true planned obsolescence. My AT&T answering machine has lasted 8 years with no problems. My Brother fax/copier/answering machine/copier has lasted 9 years with no problems. So perhaps it's Panasonic's poor workmanship.
Buy Beware.
